Sam Dracott is a farrier in the UK who cleans, trims, files, polishes, and shoes horse hooves. He works mostly with riding horses. Farriers need to have some veterinary skills to understand the anatomy of a horse's foot, as well as some blacksmithing skills to construct a form-fitting metal shoe from scratch. Dracott says that caring for a horse's feet should be a regular part of its hygienic routine. The process doesn't hurt the horse when done correctly. In fact, it can even prolong its life.

It looks like it hurts the horse because he's hammering a nail into it's a foot. It's like a giant oil tanker or a huge plane. You can explain the science behind it, but visually it makes no sense that a gigantic piece of metal floats or flies, or that hammering nails into an animal's foot is fine.

With a professional, experienced farrier, horses find it relaxing, too, I was told. Young horses may need to be restrained, as the experience is new to them, but older horses, like in the video, trust the human and just wait it out. Some horses are known to fall half-asleep and, if the farrier is currently busy with the front legs, the horse starts leaning on the farrier. More confortable for the horse. Less so for the farrier... In these cases, the farriers suspect there is some trolling on the part of the horse.

I used to work in a shop that sold hiking / mountaineering gear and clothing. One day, a guy came in looking for some traditional leather walking boots. Big dude, really heavily built. He ended up settling on a pair of Scarpa SLs, which are a classic heavy-duty design. The kind of boot you'd expect to last many years. While he was trying them on, I asked what kind of walks / terrain they were for. He said - "Oh, they're not for walking, they're for work. I'm a farrier, and mostly work with Clydesdales. I should get at least six months out of these... when those things lean on you, you don't want flexible shoes on." 😳

@linmonPIE Жыл бұрын

Also notice the grooves in the shoe. When nails are put in they are then recessed, they don’t stick out from level of shoe. BUT, in areas where horses worked in winter and ice, they would put the shoe on the other way around, groove in inside. Then the heads of the nails stood proud of the shoe, giving horse, in effect, studded tires! Anybody out there old enough to remember when studded snow tires were the big thing? They were eventually banned due to damage to roads.

@clementgilly6314 Жыл бұрын

Actually such technique is still used in horse competitions. The nails are put in normally, but the farrier drills two holds on each shoe. It allows for metal cones to be screwed inside, so that the horse does not slide during cross country. I've participated to competitions such as in Pompadour ( France ) where the road has an insane amount of small holes due to this.

@chemistrykrang8065 Жыл бұрын

So in the wild they wear down at more or less the right rate so that they don't need shoes. In fact, many ponies who aren't ridden on roads don't need shoeing. The shoe is there to prevent excessive wear from riding/walking on hard surfaces like roads or concrete... and because the iron shoe prevents such wear, trimming is necessary when shoes are replaced. Incidentally, the process of burning on a shoe smells really bad, as you might expect from burning keratin. This is because the keratin protein strands are bound together by disulphide bridges, and it's the sulphur content in the products of combustion that makes it smell bad.

@Smetrix Жыл бұрын

@For yt the material doesn’t matter much other than one being more dense and durable than the other. Other materials can be used, but at least traditionally, the blacksmith makes the shoes, so all they need is a strip of metal which they can work to fit each horse individually. Naturally when creatures walk, they do not put all of their weight into each step, which would cause damage. If you walk with a regular pair of shoes and stomp with each step, you’re going to feel shockwaves through your muscles and joints, but naturally you distribute your weight with each step, and will not experience this, the same goes for horses and other animals.

Most horses at some point will be difficult to shoe and trim, but they eventually get used to it. It also helps the owner frequently cleans out the horses hooves on their own, with a hoof pick.

@@katvloom6542 if done correctly, shoeing/trimming is painless. Horses typically do need to be taught as allowing another creature (a predator if you will) hold their foot rendering the horse vulnerable goes against a prey animal’s natural instincts.

It's like how humans didn't used to need to look after their teeth, they had a much better diet, with very little sugar. Lots of people have an assumption that in the Middle Ages all peasants had absolutely disgusting teeth, but that's just not that true. They didn't have toothbrushes, sure, but they still took care of their teeth, because they aren't stupid, they knew that their teeth helped them to eat, and they didn't have sugar eating holes in their teeth. Horses are the same, when humans aren't putting shoes on them and whatnot, they take care of themselves.

@nierlindin1006 Жыл бұрын

The main difference is the habitat as horses evolved to live in arid plains. This means lower nutrition in the food which makes them travel a lot more to get their calories. In addition, they have a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria that grows in the hoof. As the foot gets too long the strength of that section of the hoof wall to white line wanes allowing bacteria to grow in it and compromise it further. This allows it to break off. This usually happens if a horse has limited movement in a region, such as finding a lush source of food. The foot will overgrow in such a circumstance.
